Design Wall Monday, March 14, 2011

Kourageous Bellflower is nearly done. I've got to add some embroidery (stem stitches) to the flowers creating sepals and two small leaves at the stem with green thread.

Bellflower (UFO #1) March 2011

This block is just as nice as the past two. Unfortunately you would think it was getting easier as I become more ept at all the tiny pieces...but not! I must have been distracted because where I've placed the flower pins are mistakes in fabric placement. Darn it...of course these weren't realized until after the sections were sewn together. Thank you Clover for my trusty seam ripper.

If you've not used an Add-An-Eighth ruler by CM Designs and a bookmark or sturdy straight edge for your paper piecing I have learned its a must for assembling pieces as small as these.

Born and raised on the East Coast and settled in 1985 in the paradise called San Diego, California. I've a passion for scrappy, traditional pieced or paper pieced quilting. I enjoy the challenge of using my stash. I have strong thoughts of applique and hand quilting when I don't have to keep my day job. Quilting and sewing have been passed down in my family for at least four generations. I'm lucky to share this passion with my Mom.
